Starter Solenoid....
I just bought a 1978 F-150 thats been sitting.... I couldnt get it to start, but the lights and all accessories worked.... but it only clicked rapidly when I tried to start..
well I stupidly removed the starter solenoid and came back a few days later, and Forgot how it all went.... now I dont get anything... not even the accessories!
So far I have:
From battery ground, to engine block ground
From Battery positive, I have it going to the solenoid, also have what seems to be a fusable link on that side of the terminal as well.....
On the other side of the solenoid, I have it going directly to the starter, and thats it....
The two little terminals, I have the brown wire, going to the "I" and the other Red/Grey wire going to the "S"
What am I missing here?
any help would be great!
